Working with the Workman Building Consultancy team, Activate are exploring a number of options for an under-used gyratory area, by designing layouts and developing cost plans for new wellbeing, retail and leisure uses.
Activate have been working with the Local Authority and the Park’s occupiers to develop a calendar of seasonal occupier engagement activities on-site. This included exploring options for how current void development land, could be brought back into active use, with options explored including a community hub, pop up leisure facilities, nature trail and a wellness garden.
As part of a wider instruction, Activate had led the ideation and concept development for a new retail and leisure meanwhile use space, potentially to be located on current void land outside the front of the scheme. To be delivered in phases, the instruction has focused on community engagement, outline design work and establishing the viability from a planning and cost perspective. Activate have worked closely with the Workman Building Consultancy and Property Management teams to deliver the project.
